You're a Queer One Julie Jordan / Mister Snow - Barbara Ruick
You're a queer one Julie Jordan
You were quieter and deeper than a well
And you never tell me nothin'
There's nothin' that a keep to choose to tell
You've been acting most peculiar
Every morning you're awake ahead of me
Always settin' by the winder
I like to watch the river meet the sea
When we work in the mill
Weavin' at the loom
You gaze absent-minded at the roof
And half the time your shuttle
Gets twisted in the threads
Till you can't tell the warp from the woof
Taint so
You're a queer one Julie Jordan
You won't ever tell a body what you think
You're as tight-lipped as an oyster
And as silent as an old Sahara spink
His name is Mister Snow
And an up-standed man is he
He comes home every night
In his round-bottomed boat
With a net full of herring from the sea
An almost perfect beau
As refined as a girl could wish
But he spends so much time
In his round-bottomed boat
That he can't seem to lose
The smell of fish
The first time he kissed me
The whiff from his clothes
Knocked me flat on the floor of the room
But now that I love him
My heart's in my nose
And fish is my favorite perfume
Last night he spoke quite low
And a fair-spoken man is he
And he said 'Miss Pipperidge
I'd like it fine
If I could be wed with a wife
And indeed Miss Pipperidge
If you'll be mine
I'll be yours for the rest of my life '
Next moment we were promised
And now my mind's in a maze
For all it can do is look forward to
That wonderful day of days
When I marry Mister Snow
The flowers'll be buzzin'
With the hum of bees
The birds'll make racket
In the church yard trees
When I marry Mister Snow
Then it's off to home we'll go
And both of us'll look a little dreamy-eyed
A driving to a cottage by the Oceanside
Where the salty breezes blow
He'll carry me cross the threshold
And I'll be as meek as a lamb
Then he'll set me on my feet
And I'll say kinda sweet
'Well Mister Snow here I am '
Then I'll kiss him so he'll know
That everything'll be as right as right can be
A living in a cottage by the sea with me
For I love that Mister Snow
That young sea-faring
Bold and daring
Big bewhiskered overbearing
Darling Mister Snow
